Companion Voucher – British Airways Barclaycard Premium

Companion Voucher – British Airways Barclaycard Premium
TERMS AND CONDITIONS EFFECTIVE 1. September 2008
1. This promotion is only available to members of the British
Airways (‘BA’) Executive Club who are 18 years or over,
resident in Germany and who hold a Premium BA Barclaycard
(a ‘Member’). The promoters reserve the right to verify the
eligibility of Members. If you are not currently a member of
the Executive Club, you can enrol online at ba.com
2. Members must have accrued the required billed expenditure on their Premium BA Barclaycard (the ‘Target’) within
a 12 month period ending each year on the anniversary of
their Promotion Commencement Date (defined in section 10).
Please note, qualifying spend excludes Cash Withdrawals,
interest, Funds Transfers, Charge Backs and fees. The Target
for British Airways Barclaycard Premium cardholders is
€ 20,000.
3. Once Members have reached the Target applicable to their
Premium BA Barclaycard, they will receive a voucher (the
‘Voucher’) to their Executive Club Account.
4. The Voucher entitles the Member, when making a booking
using his/her accumulated Avios (a ‘Redemption Booking’),
to book a return ticket (a ‘Reward Ticket’ – also known as
a Companion Ticket) without incurring the flight price (for
applicable charges see Section 5) for a companion on that
same flight (the ‘Redemption Flight’). Reservations and
bookings for both the Member and the companion must be
made at the same time. The Reward Ticket must be used for
the same destination and must be booked in the same class
as the Redemption Flight. Companion must travel with the
Member on both the outbound and inbound journeys.
5. Members and/or their Companion will be responsible for
paying the taxes, fees, charges and surcharges relating to
the Redemption Flight and the Reward Ticket, including but
not limited to departure taxes, fuel surcharges and federal
inspection fees. Members must pay for these charges using
their Premium BA Barclaycard. For bookings visit ba.com and
log in using your membership details or call your dedicated
Executive Club number. A fee may be charged for bookings,
changes and cancellations to Reward Ticket bookings full
details of which can be found on ba.com. It is not possible
to redeem any Voucher by contacting any travel agent, or
at the airport.
6. Redemption Flights and Reward Tickets may only be used
for flights on BA mainline services, which have a BA prefixed
flight number. Travel on franchisee, codeshare or alliance
airlines is not permitted. Return flights must be booked at the
same time as the outward journey is booked. All travel must
originate in and return to Germany.
7. This promotion is only available for Redemption Bookings
made using Avios and cannot be combined with any other
mileage or frequent flyer programme, or with partial cash
payments.
8. Reward Tickets are subject to availability and there is no
guarantee of receiving a Reward Ticket to the Member’s
choice of destination under this promotion.
9. The Voucher is only valid if it has been acquired in accordance with the rules of this promotion. Vouchers must be
exchanged for a ticket and all outbound travel from Germany
must be taken before the expiry date on the Voucher, which
is 12 months from the date of its issue. For example, a
ticket routing Germany via London Heathrow to South Africa
(return), the London Heathrow to South Africa sector must be
taken before the expiry date on the Voucher. Vouchers are
non-extendable.
10. This promotion commences on the date of issue of
the Member’s first Premium BA Barclaycard (‘Promotion
Commencement Date’) Members have a 12-month period
ending each year on the anniversary of their Promotion
Commencement Date in order to reach the Target applicable
to their Premium BA Barclaycard unless the Premium BA
Barclaycard agreement expires before that time, or if the promoters decide to end the promotion (in which case Members
will be given one month’s notice). Members will not, in any
circumstances, be able to carry over any expenditure in
respect of the Target into any subsequent 12-month period
ending on the anniversary of their Promotion Commencement
Date. Only one Reward Ticket will be allowed in any Card
Year. A ‘Card Year’ is a period of 12 consecutive months
commencing on the Promotion Commencement Date or
any anniversary of the Promotion Commencement Date. If
Members reach the Target during a Card Year, no further
expenditure during that Card Year will count towards the
next Target so Members can only start collecting toward
the next Target on the first day of the next Card Year. For
example, if Members receive their Premium BA Barclaycard
on 1 February 2009 and they reach the applicable Target on
1 July 2009, they will not be able to start collecting for a
further Reward Ticket until 1 February 2010. Alternatively if
they reach the applicable Target on 1 March 2009, they will
not be able to start collecting for a further Reward Ticket until
the beginning of the next Card Year, which is in the example
given 1 February 2010. Any expenditure that they accumulate
on their Premium BA Barclaycard between the date on which
they reach the Target and the start of the next Card Year will
not count towards reaching the next Target but will still earn
Avios, which can be redeemed in the usual way.
11. Members must be Premium BA Barclaycard Cardholders
at the time of travel. BA reserve the right to refuse to issue or
to honour any Voucher/Reward Tickets in the event that the
Member is in breach of either the terms of their Premium BA
Barclaycard or BA Executive Club membership.
12. The Voucher may only be used by the Member who must
select/advise at the time of booking the Redemption Ticket
and the Reward Ticket that he/she wishes to use the Voucher.
13.Vouchers have a statutory cash redemption value of
0.001p and are non-transferable. Cash or credit alternatives
will not be offered.
14. At no time may the Voucher be purchased, sold, transferred to anyone else or bartered. Any such Voucher will
become void.
15. The Voucher may not be used in conjunction with any
other offer.
16. Any flight tickets obtained in exchange for an invalid
Voucher will also be invalid and liable to removal by British
Airways. Alternatively, British Airways reserves the right to
recover the full applicable fare for the Reward Ticket from
the Member or his/her companion.
17. Vouchers cannot be used to amend existing bookings.
18. Only one Voucher may be used at any one time for any
one booking.
19. If booking by telephone, Reward tickets must be booked
at least 48 hours before the date of travel.
20. Subject to the Executive Club terms and conditions
relating to Redemption Bookings, if the Member cancels the
Redemption Booking or if the companion can no longer fly on
the Reward Ticket more than 24 hours prior to the scheduled
departure of the first flight, British Airways may reissue the
Voucher which will only be valid for the remainder of its 12
month expiry period. Effective 1 November 2007, Redemption
bookings cancelled within 24 hours of departure, will result in
the Voucher and Avios, in respect of the redemption not being
re-credited to the member.
